at present before the minister and tlie country , and yet it would be unjust to ascribe the delay to him . It is an accident of the pre sent position of parties . We are politically in what geologists call a " transition state . " The old parties are dissolving or mutually repellent ; the new one , which is destined to attract the greatest number of adherents , and ultimately master the others , is only forming . In the meantime the minisier is very much at the mercy of "the chapter of accidents . " He can no longer secure success or predicate with certainty what time shall be consumed in the discussion of any question , nor what turn a debate shall take . The Chancellor of the
Exchequer the other . Bight , in answer to a question by Col . Sibthorp as to what day he intended to bring on the- Budget , said with great truth and great simplicity that really it was very difficult fcr Government to name any day now for any particular business . It is a significant fact , which indicates perhaps Letter than a larger one the actual po-ition of the Peel Ministry and its probable fate . Since our last review , the only subjects of general importance which have occupied the attention of
Parliament have been the Indian war , so rapidly and so successfully concluded , and the state of Ireland—the deep-seated and long-continued diseases of which seem as though they were never to be eradicated , notwithstanding the everlasting speechmaking , blue-book manufacturing , and law-enacting of patriots and commissions out of doors , and Legislators witbJH . On this subject , however , we need not comment here . It has received attention and illustration in another column .
As to the Indian war , thanks were voted to the Commanders in the usual style . Saint IIakrt Ixous , in his usual unctuous and self-complacent way , expatiated largely on the thanks due to Almighty God for our great victories , and quoted from despatches of Mablbobscgh , Xelsox , and Collixg"wood , to show that our great men-killers of former days were always pious enough to ascribe to Him the honour and glory of these butcheries . Sir Hcghnow Lord Govgh , being a man of war of a similar godly description , seemed to Saint Uahry a worthy
successor of these mighty bloodshedders . All this was in the approved fashion ; the only exception was , that Joseph Broihertos , patient , cautious , and forbearing as he usually is , was roused to the pitch of declaring that he considered such sentiments a little blasphemous—that he 000111- not but thiuk that God Almighty , being the father of all men , would not be pleased with the slaughter of any of his creatures , and that he thought , war being the greatest scourge that could desolate a nation , it was wrong to encourage the notion that quarrels could not be settled otherwise than bv blows .
"We note the utterance of snch sentiments in the House as a straw thrown up to see which way the wind blows . Had the member for Salford not been aware that a large and powerful party entertain these opinions ont of doors , he would never have expressed them in doors , 'f be fact may be recorded as a phase in the progress of peace doctrines—as a step towards a rational mode of adjusting national differences . Meanwhile , we live in " an age of iron , " of steel , gunpawder , and bullets . Jand think that carnage on a largo scale is " glory !"

IXFAMOtS TREATMENT OT SHIPWRECKED Se&HES . —The ship BdfasU of Liverpool , was lately lost on the north coast of Scotland . It appears that the ship , after passing the Pentlana Frith , was beset by a tremendous hurricane ; after losing her masts she went to pieces , ten of the crew had disappeared , thesis who remained dang to a fragment of the rigging for several liours ; at daybreak they were enabled to reach the rocks on the coast under Arraadnle , Sutherlandshire . They made their way to the nearest iiouse , where tht ? y were received in the most kind and hospitable manner . The owner , being a poor person , however , could do little more than afford temporary shelter ; but Mr . Fatersoii , the sheep farmer , to whom the case was reported , toot them to his house , supplied them with
the cozntorts they stood in need ofj and had them sent forward to Tiiurso at his own expense . They applied at the Custom Iiouse there , and received ten shillings each . They ntxt proceeded to Wick . Their allowance being nearly exhausted , the poor fellows appealed to the authorities there for a passage home , but were toM they had no power to relieve able-bmlied paupers . In this liistrecsing plight they were left , until they met the captain of the Sovereign steamer , who handsomely offereil to take them on board ; they were accordingly landed at Granton Pier on Wednesday last . Being in a feeble and exhausted state , and one of them (; he steward ) severely hurt by haviug his foot jammed betwixt the rending spars of the vessel , and not having a farthing in their pockets , they made their claim on
the disabled seamen ' s fund at Leith , to which they contribute Is . per month ; but instead of finding immediate relief , they were told to petition the trustees Sir , the abuse and perversion of this fund has been the subject of loud and general complaint among seamen ; it is now considered hepeless for a common sailor ever to expect anything from this source . Although the fund is supplied with money deducted from their wages , they have apparently no legal claim to support , but have to petition and supplicate , and wait for months , and if they do succeed in getting a fraction of their own , it is doled out to them with all the insolence of charity . J . C . Edinburgh , March 31 , ISM . S . Mabeiott , Xottisgbam . —We cannot afford room for
your letter . The reasoning is good , but there is no ntiSty in reasoning on the question . You cannot reason the prantocracy into doing justice to their slaves ; the public require no reasoning to be convinced of the tyranny of the capitalists ; and as to the opera tives , if they are not convinced by their many wrongs of the necessity of union , " neither would they be persuaded though one rose from the dead .

Oar correspondent says that his father set the lines to music fur the use of the Reformers of that period . He adds "this is not the only piece of my father ' s music which has been burked
by the people ' s enemies . " Te the Belfast Shoemakers . — Henry Oliver , of Bishops-Auckland , addressing the Belfast shoemakers entreats them net to abandon their union . He describes the state of the shoemakers iu his locality to be most wretched , and appeals to all his fellow craftsmen to form a general union for the purpose of rescuing theiHselves from theirpresent degradation .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE XOKTBERS STAB .. Sis , —Nearly twenty years of my lifehave been spent in the vitinitiei of what you justly term " Rattle Boxes , "and believe me , when I tell you , that such a state of society has learned me nothing of human greatness , nor is such a state calculated to learn man anything except competitive depravity . When in the large towns I was confined to labour for six days in the week and bear J sermons , and prayers on a Sunday , or be threatened with guch eternal pains , which could not be depicted but by a deeply depraved understanding . Not oneef the Holy (!) Order ever told me that if I was " willing I and obedie nt I should eat the good of the Laud , " on the contrary , their language was , that if I would submit
• with humble reverence to a brother man ' s contumely , theu I might wing my way to regions the latitude and longitude- of which they could not inform me . This day I am very much tired with rambling the mountains hereabouts , belonging to a certain ( ouce a tinker ) Duke . When on the top of the topmost mountain ; [ perforated the surface with a stick several inches , and , believe me when I tell you , that I found the best of soil . The laud which I walked over would support in potatoes ( once a day ) the whole people of this county . Yet it produces nothing but a few Scotch firs , and wild underwood . I wish , when I was a boy , the Land question had been understood as it new is , I believe , that a countrified , red-faced , stout looting girl would ( ere now ) have beeu my companion , and our employ-

ment would have been , « I to be the bread provider and my wife to be the hrcad laker . " There are a few friends h » re who very much agree to all the proposals Of the "Land Society .

To toe Leicester Chartists . —Mr . Cooper regrets to state , that owing to indisposition and unavoidable business , he is unable to complete the Memoir of peor Bramwieb , this week : it shall appear in the next Star , unless some unforeseen hinderance occurs . J . It ., Bagmgge Wells-koad . —Your letter came to hand too late for insertion this week . TnE Popular Informant . —This is the title of a publication , two numbers of which have appeared , containing the most admirable exposure of the British taxing system it has ever been our good fortune to rend . The monstrous public robberies of wVich the people are the victims , together with the abuses of Royalty and the Church , are dissected in a masterly manner . We had hoped to bav < : found time and room to speak
of this work at length , but find we cannot do so this week ; we hope , however , to accomplish our intention next week . In the meantime we earnestly recommend The Popu l ar Informant to our readers . It is published by Eningham Wilson , Royal Exchange , London , and both numbers may be had fcr Eightpence . No working man should be without it . 1 . 11 recommends the persous elected for location on an estate , to purchase for their general use , a steam flower mill , which will cost the sum of £ 15 . Such a mill will be capable of grinding one and a-balf bags per day ; the fuel will cost comparatively nothing . If the members adopt this ;« lan , they can grind then own com without going off their own estate . The Late Buncombe Soibee , at the Crcwn and Anchor
Edmundj Stallwood begs to acknowledge 2 s . on account of the above Soiree which winds up the affair , every fraction being p -id and all accounts settled . The Land . —Being convinced that you will agree with me that every suggestion calculated to benefit the human family is entitleu to that consideration which its merits deserve , and as I am not aware that any of your numerous correspondents , that have written on the productiveness of the soil have turned their attention to the culture of the red currant , I am induced to forward the following calculation , drawn up by John Thomas Cockain , whe ( on handing the same to me ) stated that being a three acre shareholder iu the Chart ist Co-operative Land Society , and having heard the enemies of that society assert , that should they ( the
shareholders ) ever get possession of their promised land , that they would be in the same condition as poor Paddy , being compelled to live on the potatoes and sell the pij to pay th « rent , he being a dealer iu fruit had calculated that a piece of land , three acres in width , and one acre in length , would be 2610 feet long by 1 ! IS feet wide , that planting red currant trees down both sides and across one eud at four feet apart it would take 13 G 9 trees , which at three pints per bush ( he is confident that , after three years growth , the produce would be rather over than under that ) would be SIS gallons or 102 i sieves , which at 4 s . per sieve ( the average marketprice ) would amount to £ 20 10 s ., again , that provided the land be three acres long and one wide and plauted as above the produce would be 1491 gailous or
eOu sieves , realising the sum of £ 5 U 12 s . Johs Aksott . Somers-town . The Tailobs' Stbike AT Maschestbr . —Edward Mitchell of Rochdale , expresses his disappointment at the Northern Star not advocating the cause of the Manchester tailors who have been on strike for twenty weeks past , against the odious " sweating system . " He asks , is the fault of this omission with the conductors of the Star , or does the blame lie with the executive of the Tailors Protection Society , or the Manchester Strike Committee ? We will only say that whoever may be censurable , we are not to blame . All that the tailors have sent to us has had our attention . Instead of being censured , we have strong reason for censuring others . Here is a specimen of the dirty way we were treated by the tailors , or at least their officers . On Monday March 2 nd , a conference of delegates representing the tailors assembled at Leeds .
If the delegates had desired a report of their proceedings to appear in this paper , there was no goed reason why we should not have been furnished with the report of at least the first three days proceedings in time to have appeared in the Star ot March 7 tli , instead of which we heard nothing from them all that week , nor until Thursday , March 12 th , when we received a report of two days proceedings . We heard no more of the tailors couference until Thursday March litth , when a person called at the office with several columns of matter , which of course at that time of the week we could do nothing with , our first edition being then nearly filled up . This person , who appeared to be connected with the Tailors Advocate , promised that when the matter was set up for that paper , he would supply ua with " proofs , " which " proofs" he promised should be sent to the Star office by Monday March ' - ' 3 rd , or Tuesday the 24 th . But to this day Thursday April 9 th , no " proofs" have beeu re-
ceived by us , nor have we heard another word about the Tailors Conference . We say that in this case we were shabbily and shamefully used . The two days report palmed upon us , we accopted on the understanding that we were to be supplied with the remainder ; could we have anticipated the contrary , we should certainly not have made the Starlook ridiculous by the publication of a fragment of a report . What does Mr . Mitchell think of this ? Does he not think that we are the aggrieved party , and that we have good cause to complain ! The fact is that there are mm amongst thetrades , would-be aristocrats , who dislike the political principles of the Northern . Star , and who try to injure us by keeping back reports , and
otherwise disabling us from serving the cause of the working men . We append the concluding portion of Mr . Mitcuell ' s letter , as containing some slight information respecting the Manchester ( Tailors ) strike : — " Nearly five months ago the Manchester tailors , to the number of between three andfour hundred , turned out to resist the extension of that cursed system , commonly called sweat ing or out-doorwork , that has brought thousands in London and other large towns to a premature grave . The country responded nobly to the appeal of their Manchester brethren by assisting them through a long and gloomy winter ; and now the sun begins to throw its bright beams around us , we will let these grinding capitalists know we are determined , one and nil , to assist our brothers through a bright and Ehwing summer .

TUE ENSUING NATIONAL CONVENTION . A public meeting , pursuant to notice in thia paper , was held at the Hall , Turnsgain-lnno , on Sunday evening , April the 5 th , for the puiposo of electing a delegate or delegates to the ensuing Chartist Convention . Mr . Knobbs was unanimousl y called to the chair . On the motion of Messrs . Overton and Bogley it-was unanimously resolved : — That tlie City district do send one delegate to the forth , coming ansual Chartist Convention . The following resolution was also submitted by Mr . Dunn , seconded by Mr . Westray , and carried unanimously : —
That tins meeting is of opinion that the time and talent of the present Executive will henceforth be required by the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , from which source it at present exclusively derives its pecuniary support , we are , therefore , of opinion that an additional Executive committee , of three , should he appointed for the management of , and forwarding both in and out of Parliament , the affairs of the National Charter Association exclusively , aud that such Executive committee should be paid by the National Chartist Association , and that our delegate be instructed to support such a proposition in Convention . It was also proposed and carried : — That our delegate be instructed to support the proposition—that the Convention do elect the Executive committee . On the motion of Messrs . Overtonaud Gardner , it was unanimously resolved : —
That this meeting condemns the Executive address in the Northern Star of yesterday , and cannot recognise their right to chaugy the time and place of holding the annual Convention , that power being vested in tiie Convention alone , this meeting ar » , therefore , of opinion that the Conrention should be held ut Leeds as agreed to at the last National Convention . On the motion of Messrs . Antill and Dunn , it was resolved : — That our delegate be instructed to move the following , as an additional rule of the National Charter Association . 'That in the event of any officer of this association [ renouncing by word or deed any points or principle of the Peoples'Charter , lie or thoy shall immediately have his or their office declared vacant , and a precept shall be issued forthwith for an election to fill up such office or office .
Air . Thomas Cooper havingjbeen duly proposed and seconded as a candidate , . Mr . W . Kuight was also nominated , but declined to stand . The resolutions , as agreed to by way of instruction ^ were then read over to Mr . Cooper . He said he agreed with the first in the main , but he should not like to be bound to that exact number , he thought there should be only one paid officer , the secretary , and that he should be paid so as to make it worth his while to leave any other business or profession , and devote himself to the cause . He did not think it should be compulsory on the Executive to be lecturers but they
should have the power of appointiug lecturers , whose qualifications should be that they were good , moral , zealous men . He perfectly agreed with , the instruction , " That the Convention should elect the Executive ; " of course a Convention was elected for a yar , and held their office until the next were elected , and thus prevented the necessity of calling any other body into existence during that period , the Executive being the committee acting for that body . Mr . Cooper was then unanimously elected . A vote of thanks was given to tlie chairman and the meeting dissolved .
GLASGOW . At the usual weekly meeting of No . 1 branch of the Chartist Co-operative Land Association , held in Murdock ' s School-room , No . 27 , St . Andrew ' s-square , on Tuesday evening , March 31 st , ¦ Mr . Alexander Olebund in the chair , Mr . O'Connor ' s letter in the Star was read to the members ; also an avtiele on the use and different properties of manure . The persons forming the association here are determined to have , at least , a knowledge of the theory of fanning previous to their becoming practical farmers . Seeing that the ballot is to take place early , and that a t p 11 S
our brethren in England will , in all probability , show their love of the principle by having a demonstration to accompanythe successful parties to their " castles , " we have come to a resolution , that although we cannot be present in person , we will show that we are in spirit , a committee having been appointed to have everything in preparation for a demonstration in Glasgow on the same evening . The secretary was ilso instructed by the committee to write requesting the director . " , to send Mr . Doyle to Scotland , as the movement has been greatly retarded here through the want of some one to expound the principles . o , v i
At a meeting of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , on Wednesday , 25 th ult ., the chairman ( Mr . Daniel Mitchell ) read an intimation from the Star of the preceding Saturday—that No . 1 branch of the said society meets in Murdoch ' s School-room , 27 , St . Andrew ' s-square , and that the place was taken for three months . When read , it was moved : — "That notice be sent to the editor requesting him to announce in the Star , that No . 1 branch of the Cooperativc Land Society of Glasgow meets every Monday night , from eight till a quarter-past ten o ' clock , in one of the rooms of the Nelson-street Chapel ; that they have met there since the branch was formed
in Glasgow ( about eight minths since ); and they have Kot the most distant views of changing their place of meeting . "—Archibald Pollock . [ The fact is that there are two branches of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society in Glasgow , each calling itself "No . I , " and each affecting to be totally ignorant of the other ' s existence . This hostile feeling between the two branches is very ridiculous ; and we must decline countenancing either of the parties . Let ttie directors , or the next Conference of the Land Society , decide which of tlie branches is " No . 1 . " We will have nothing further to do with the question . —Ed . JV . S . ]
OLDIIAM . On Sunday last , Mr . Win . Dixon delivered a very argumentative Lecture in the school room of the Working Man ' s Hall , which gave great satisfaction .

STOCKPORT . J . Mitchell . —This individual , who , in 1839 , was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment in Chester Castle , on a charge of sedition , and was bound orer to keep the peace after his confinement for five years , in seven hundred pounds , had great pleasure on Sunday , March 22 nd , in inviting his bondsmen and a few friends to a cup of tea , and announcing to them the pleasing intelligence that he and they were again freed from the trammels of the law . Mr . Mitchell observes that it gave him exceeding pleasure in having it in his power to return them his hearty and sincere thanks for their kindness , and for the confidence they had reposed in him . It also pive him no litttle consolation when lie reflected
upon the many persecutions with which lie and his oil-patriots had had to contend since his liberation , that lie had not in , tho slightest decree betrayed the confidence of his friends . It was also something for him to say , when he told them that out of fifteen men who were sent from Stockport to Chester in ' 3 D , ten of whom served various terms of imprisonment , from twelve to eighteen months , he was the only one left who had maintained his ground and his principles . Some had been driven from their native land to seek shelter in a foreign country ; others had been obliged to leave thetown , and seek employment in some other part of England , whilst others had been so crippled in their circumstances , that they dare not acknowledge Chartism , either in public ot
m private , and not one was left save himself to stand up in defence of the noble principles for which they had suffered . He had often been advised to go to jnerjea , but his answer had always been " No : they were cowards who run away and left thuir fatherland iii a state of bondage . To suffer for a good cause , and then to run away and leave it altogether , was cowardly , lie had suffered much for Chartism , and had never yet shrunk from the advocacy of its principles , and by the help of God and his own exertions , the Charter and the Laud should be the watch word and the law of the nation before he ceased his labours . " He again returned them his hearty thanks , and hoped it would not be the last time they would assemble to congratulate cacli other upon the steady progress of the people ' s cause .

THE TEN HOURS' BILL—MEETING OF DELEGATES . On Saturday evening last , a very numerous meeting of the Lancashire Central Short Time Committee was held at their rooms Oldham-strcet , Manchester , for the purpose of receiving the report of the delegales who had returned from London , where they had been to assist Lord Ashley and Mr . Fielden in promoting the passing of the Ten Hours' Bill . The chairman of the Short Time Committee presided .
Ihe Chairman , in opening the proceedings , observed that the committee had deemed it their duty to call the delegates together at the present , crisis to hear their report on the position and propeets of the measiu-f c , by which they ( tlie committee ) might be better able to judge of the propriety of the step taken in postponing the second reading till the 29 th of April , and also to enable them to take such other steps , and advise such other measures , as might assist in securing success this session . It would be seen by the delegates that the committee had a very important duty to discharge at the present moment —they were entrusted with the conducting of tlie measure in the country , and hence the anxiety they felt at all times to have the best possible advice of
all parties who were friendly to the measure , but more especially the counsel of those who had been in London , amongst their Parliamentary friends . There was one point to wliicli he would briefly call the attention of the meeting , namely , that since the very first day he became connected with the committee , which was now sixteen years , neither himself nor the party with whom he acted had ever given utterance to one exciting expression , nor a sentiment in any way calculated to give the agitation a politico complexion . It was by that line of conduct the question had made so much progress , and had gained for its advocates the almost universal esteem of the public . In that course it , was their determination to go onward , He would call upon the delegates to give in their report .
Mr . J . Mills , of Oldham , said that on the arrival of the deputation in town , they found that considerable diffipulty prevailed in deciding as to the propriety of bringing on the second reading on the 25 th of March , as formerly intended . A conference was at once held with Lord Ashley and Mr . Ficlden , when it was agreed that the delegates should see as many of their Parliamentary friends on both sides of tlie house as possible , and take their advice as to what should be done . For two or three days the delegates were engaged in visiting members on this point , and the result of their enquiries was an agreement amongst them , that to force on the second reading until the fate of the Corn Bill was known , would be injurious , if not fatal , to the bill this session . An
effort was then made to prevail on the government to allow the second reading to pass without a division or discussion , but this failed ; there was , therefore , no other course left but to postpone it , inasmuch as many of their friends would eitker vote against tlie measure , or absent themselves from the house , rather than endanger the Corn Bill by a defeat of the government . Taking all these matters into account , be was perfectly satisfied that the postponement of the second reading was the best course that could have been adopted . The delegate from Bury was of the saran opinion , and would add , that ho thought much had buen gained by the course adopted . He might also state that the people of Bury highly approved of the instruction given by the committee to the delegates .
Mr . John Brewjsr , of Bolton , had carefully weighed the postponement of the measure , and he was quite sure it was the most prudont course tkat : ould have been adopted . This was the opinion of both free trade and protection members of tlie Iiouse of Commons . As regards the delegates themselves , he was bound to « ay that they all worked well together except one , who made several attempts to give the question a political complexion , no doubt for some purpose , but he failed . Mr . Jons Mills corroborated the statment of Mr . Brewer , and gave it as his opinion that , if the working men did their duty the measure would be carried this session .
Mr .. David Ross , of Leeds , entered into an interesting account of the interviews they had had with many members , and cive it as his opinion that something would be done this session , lie deeply regretted that any attempt should be made to damage the measure , by introducing ( political opinions , but he urged the committee ana delegates to take no notice of the paltry insinuations of pretended friends . He believed the delegates had done . much good during their stay in London , and lie hoped their services would continue after Easter . Ths instructions « iven to the Lancashire delegates were highly approved of in Leeds .
Mr . Balme , of Bradford , was of the same opinion as Mr . Ross , lie believed that the postponement of the second reading was indispensably necessary to the safety of the measure ; and as to the instructions givea to the Lancashire delegates , which had been complained of by some pretended friends , he could say that they were very much liked by the centra committee of Yorkshire . who at a very numerous meeting adopted them unanimously . Several other delegates gave expression to similar opinions , after which a vote of thanks was passed to the deputation , and the following resolution unanimously adopted .
" That after very mature deliberation , the Committee anil Delegates now assembled , : ire strongly impressed with the propriety of the step taken by Jfr . Piolden iu postponing the second reading till the 2 !) th of April , believing as they do , that any other course would have been injurious if not fatal to the measure this SoSBion , the delegates having ascertained from the numerous friends of the causo in Parliament , that it was indispensably necus-« ary to the safety of the bill to postpone the second reading to the time named , or a more favourable opportunity . " The committee then proceeded to the consideration of other matters . In the course of their deliberations it was agreed to urge the districts to pour in petitions from every mill in the kingdom , without further delay . Thanks having been voted to the chairman , the meeting separated shortly before eleven o ' clock .
Address to TnE Whitestebs of Gkeat Britain , am ) the Public at Larok . —Friends , —We are compelled , however reluctantly , to bring our case before you , knowing that we would be a powerful body were we only united . We beg to express our sentiments , hoping we shall arouse every wbitester in Great Britain to a sense of his duty to come together anil join in union , and when together to hold together . If we could prevail upon the whitesters of all England to join with the Lancashire men who are now united together , we should overcome all opposition .

FOREIGN AFFAIRS . The disturbances at St . Etienne , in FRANCE , Which we noticed last week , are not yet thoroughly quelled . We borrow the following account of the riots from a provincial paper , U lihonc . — " On Saturday the miners oi Gagne-Pctit , to whom an augmentation ot salary , 25 centimes , had been refused , announced their intention to cease working . It waa hoped that on the Sunday they would have changed their minds , but this hope was vain . On the Monday morning , the 1 ' ivcureur dv . Hoi , being informed that the miners were making the round of the different other coal pits , exciting the workmen to join them , cutting the ropes , and menacing these who hesitated , ordered some of them to be arrested . An officer proceeded with some gendarmes to the spot , and
arrested seven of them . But the others came up and attempted to rescue their companions , and it was deemed necessary to send for a piquet of 30 men . Meanwhile , the numbers of the ln . ners increased , and from their menacing attitude it was at once evident that this force was inefficient , and a reinforcement was sent for ; this time the piquet consisted of 85 men , and the General commanded them in person . The number of the rioters now amounted to 500 , amongst whom were a number of women , who excited the rioters , as is usually the case . The prisoners were carried off . But scarcely had the detachment began to move when the authorities and their escort were assailed by a shower of stones . The tumult was beyond description , some of the miners wrestling ivith the soldiers . The soldiers were on the point ; of losing their prisoners ; many of them , were wounded , one seriously ; and the General himself
was hit at various times . In this extremity orders were given to lire , and some of the miners fell .- Six were killed , and as many wounded . The population is in a great state of excitement , but property has been respected . In the evening they again assembled in numbers , made the round of the different pits , and used threats to compel the others to join them . The strike has spread to all the works of St . Etienne and Finning . " The latest accounts represent that the disturbances have been renewed . At tiic present momentv ' thc strike is general , and more than 2000 workmen are wandering about the town and country . The drain on the savings banks continues , week after week the sums withdrawn from greatly exceed the suras deposited . Great uneasiness is felt in the monicd circles of Paris , on account of the general decline of all securities , and particularly railway shares . We have to report another ministerial crisis in
SPAIN . Notwithstanding the boasting of Narvaez and his colleagues initueir opening manifesto , followed by the most tyrannical acts , the "Polignac ministry" is already in its death throes . After a violent altercation with General Narvaez , Messrs . Egana and Pczucla had tendered their resignations . Report stated thai the Marquis de Viluma would be charged with the reconstruction ot a new Cabinet . ' The Clamor Publko which had reappeared for a lew days has been forcibly suppressed . The editor has addressed the following circular to his subscribers : —
' The political chief having found some allusions , more or less plain , and in reference to the occurrences of the day , in the article inserted in our last number under the head of ' The Learned Monkies , ' has sentenced us to a fine of 500 reals , and ordered moreover the suspension of our publication . In consequence , we shall not appear alter this day , but our paper will be leplaced by an . ¦\ . \> uiii , .-u ; i- 'ii > j- ; Industrial , and literary lie- ¦ :. -t .

ior a libel published some weeks Wore tin the Queen-Mother . If we may read she "signts n ? tha times , " we must conclude th : » t a violoaiirtveiiiuioa is near at hand . A letter troia SJayonne oi ' th- ; 2 nd inst . says : — " Everything indues nu 10 beli-eve that an outbreak against the anti-constitutional system now dominant in Spaiu is imminent . The chiefs of the Progresisia party here are actively maturing their plans for simultaneous risings in several places kuown for tlteir attachment to tlie cause of liberty . The answer to the invitation addressed to Bspartero is anxiously waited for . A ccording to 11 letter from
PORTUGAL , it seems the intrigues of . the Jesuits in that kingdom have taken a most serious character . If tlie government dues not promptly interfere , Portugal may become the theatre of disastrous events . It is said that the principal agents of these intrigues receive their instructions from Paris and Madrid . An agent is said to have arrived recently , at this latter capital , charged to redouble activity . Amongst tlie means employed to prevent the progress of popular enlightenment in
GERMANY . we must notice the infamous decree of tlie Austrian despotism against Roxge and his followers . This decree , which has been published in the Cologne Gazette , announces that the Catholics calling themselves German , not forming part of any religious community acknowledged in the Austrian monarchy , are an illegal association , and have no right of domicile in the empire . Those who compose " it are to be punished as criminals in case of any breach of certain articles of the code relative to the rights of the Church . Foreigners professing the new doctrines , if they enter the country without the permission of the Austrian Minister residing at their respective courts , are immediately expelled—in other words , they will not be suffered to enter the country . Foreigners residing in Austria professing these doctrines , shall be ordered to quit the country without delay ; and article 6 th provides that in case of the death of
uny one ot these sectaries no funeral ceremony shall be performed , unless the priests of the church to which he belonged shall have given their consent , and the body shall be , buried in silence through the intervention of the civil authorities . And in the event of any Austrian functionary adopting the new doctrine , he shall be immediately proscribed and removed from office . This is a specimen of the " paternal" doings of the Austaian government . For several weeks the workmen at Bremen , at all the shipwarves and docks , have been in open revolt . The commotion begau at the seaport of Bremenhaven , and quickly spread by both banks ot' the Wescr , up to livunen . The cause is said to be a reduction of wages , and the truck system , which ha 3 been employed against the interests of the workmen . This is the first social outbreak iu the North of Germany , although similar disturbances have appeared in other parts of the country , as , for instance , Silesia aud Bohemia . Arrests and preparations against revolution continue in nearly all parts of ITALY , but particularly in the dominions of " his Holiness " the Pope , Disturbances recently took place at Smola . At Spoleto the prisoners " attempted to revolt , and seven of them were killed and many wounded . The patriot Rienzi had arrived in Pvome , under a strong escort , and had been confined in tl ; e castle of St . Angelo . _ Letters from Tuscany of the 9 th state that considerable excitement prevails in the Grand Duchy . It would appear that the extradition of M . Rienzi had greatly displeased the majority of the population . Warlike preparations are carried on with activity at Venice , as it is feared that the Italian propaganda intend a new descent oh the coast of Naples , or of the Papal states . General Prim is reported as leader of the enterprise .
The Correspondent of Nurembui-g publishes a letter from Italy , dated the 26 th ult ., which states that the Count de Katezky , Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian troops in Italy , has demanded a reinforcement of seven regiments . Several sentinels had been assassinated at Milan . The revolutionists had assembled in the canton of Tessino , and the Austrian government had addressed a strong note to the authorities of the canton on the subject . Letters and papers freiu the UNITED STATES .
to the 18 th of March were received in London on Thursday . The Oregon question coutiuued still to be debated with undiminished interest ; but itweuld seem that its _ settlement was still very remote , though the hesitation in coming to a decision indicates , of itself , a pacific tendency . The Jatest speech in the senate was that of Mr . Callioun , on the 12 th of March , who stated that there was no more idea entertained now of war than that the title of the United States to the whole territory of Oregon was clear and unquestionable . He objected to the unequivocal resolution of the Senate . Of the two questions " compromise" or " war , " he advocated the former . The papers by this arrival ivve full of accounts of the disasters and destruction of property caused by the breaking up of the ice on the rivers , and the sudden rise ot the waters . Numerous shipwrecks had also occurred .
